A UN-backed humanitarian convoy has brought food, fuel and medical supplies to 40,000 displaced Sri Lankans who have been cut off for the past month due to fighting between the Government and Tamil seperatists in the north-east. 33 trucks carrying 40% of the supplies for the month were not able to reach the displaced population.
